Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the [people,] in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his [people,] and they shall flee every one to his own land.

Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the [people,] and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy [people,] The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my [people,] and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

And I will bring them out from the [people,] and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my [people,] and I will be their God.
